If Gomez's words "there will be consequences" can be considered criminal intimination then...

....PM Lee's "I will have to fix the opposition and buy my supporter's votes" is OUTRIGHT INTIMINATION and display of intention of bribery!!!

...PAP's policy of "if you vote for me, i give you upgrading. If you don't vote for me, i take your tax money and give others and don't give you" is criminal intimination and extortion on a national level.

...PAP's warning that "the Gomez issue is not over. We will look into it after the elections" is also a threat.

[b]Remember Cheng San, 1997.

And you all know whose fault is all of this........?

It's Aljunied Resident's fault!!!!!! You all must explain!!!!!! Twisted Evil [/b]

Next time you go NTUC fairprice and tell the cashier, if the eggs you bought happen to turn out rotten, there will be consequences. Laughing

People fly home immediately all the time after conferences or an event. Whaz the big deal? He had a job to return to at the end of the day unlike our million dollar ministers who can sit on their bums and only appear to shake hands during elections. Laughing

Thanks to the 66.6% who bite the carrots.. PAP now has the right to practice such 3rd world politics for another 5 years.. and thanks to these 66.6%.. 100% of Singaporeans will be slaves for the next 5 years!!

YES! to the POWER OF ONE!!

Fatum SG

as to your first statement bro, I have no idea, perhaps you can elucidate ? ...

as for the second part, remember that Singapore is an artificial state afterall, we're an accident of history, like it of not ... as to the Singaporean culture bit, well ... I certainly think there's plenty of it in evidence ... from kiasuism to kiasism ... they are all part of the Singaporean identity, no ? ... social engineering does not work, we know that much from the last 40 years of national campaigns ... we still litter, we still speak Singlish (for my thoughts on Singlish, please visit http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=176815 ... Wink ) ... a big pity though, don't you think ? that without the legions of banglas cleaners, Singapore would become a cesspit within the week ! (and the public toilets in 48 hours ! ) ... maybe we don't have a first world goverment yet ... but you think we already have a first world population already ? ...

but then again, of course, you're talking about the rise of a political culture eh ? ... this is an inexorable process, whether the incumbent recognizes it or not, we have seen this in the last elections ... but, the real issue is, is Singapore ready for the kind of unbridled political process some chaps here envisions ... freedom comes with responsibilities from all players, I have this latent fear of Singapore's political process turning into a fracas, a scandal driven circus ... look at the forums during the elections, everyone speaking over each other's heads ... take a look at the threads by that chap january for example, and more importantly, the kind of reactions ... I'm afraid I have to say; we're not quite ready yet ...

I'm talking more on how the state's role in engineered emphasis on ethnic self-help above national self-help may actually serve their purposes, because they actually avoid a strong melting pot of views and thoughts.

Maybe I didn't phrase it correctly.But the political circus is not something nice, but I'm very sure we deserve to have the current sort of dominance thrown out.

MrIllusion SG

Internet forums are hardly indicative of our readiness for political change. Both you and I and several others are posting under anonymity. Have we abused this anonymity and irresponsibly expressed arguments which cannot be ascertained? Not every forum is like sammyboy...

Having more opposition candidates in Parliament doesn't mean that Chiam See Tong will suddenly take a page from the Taiwanese and start flinging foldable chairs at other ministers.

We just need to stop equating the opposition with utter chaos.

casino_king SG

Singaporeans seem so guilible, don't you think? They buy the propaganda hook line and sinker. The opposition cannot sell their own propaganda or counter the influence of the propaganda because they do not have access to the mass media.

That the PAP lost PP and Hougang and could only garner around 55% in Aljunied speaks volumes to me about the dissatisfaction on the ground. Can you imagine if it were a free and fair election?

LazerLordz SG

In this event, what we have to do is a grassroots alternative media network, teach children what it means to be objective, and balanced in looking all forms and sources of information before making an informed decision.

Ask questions, dare to challenge the model answer.If as youths, they cannot do that, then it's hard as adults to convince them.

tiggersgd SG

the 66.6% of voters chose PAP and bit the carrot...this is tian jing di yi.

u didn't vote for or supported the PAP doesn't mean others can't. don't need to get too extreme with ur views. and try to relax...can get high blood pressure easily like that.

casino_king SG

The education system is in their hands, remember? What the teachers teach day in and day out and the emphasis and objectives of the education system precludes the ability to teach the child what you suggested effectively.

Nelstar SG

The people had spoken.

Perhaps we have to wait for changes in the future..

siaokao SG

Thx for ur concern bro! Mr. Green

^MaRcUs^ SG

well....
its always the case here...
Who in power who will be always right.

Perhaps you guys can provide evidents...
on proves that GOMEZ LIED and threatened?

sbst275 SG

Isn't the CCTV good enough??? Instead of submitting the form, he went to slip it into his envelop and eventually left

2 days later went back and tried to use CNA camera beside to show his case, but sadly, the phone call and CCTV has killed him

That poor staff could end up be suspended and lead a miserable period because of this...

Aveme SG

the CCTV can only prove that he did not submit it,but it cannot prove that he deliberately did not submit the form to cause trouble

The main thing is can you prove his intent beyond reasonable doubt?

The possbility of it being a geniune mistake is also very high in the mist of the busy schedule during election period.And he had said it was a genuine mistake and apologized for it.Are you going to force a confession out of him that his intent is what you would like to see it as?

sbst275 SG

But he lied, insisting at the CNA footage that he submitted it

Whatever it is, a lie is a lie, they have the right to charge him for lying to a civil servant

A mistake? If so, he shouldn't needed to go to ELD to collect the Indian minority form

Aveme SG

there is a difference btw an intentional lie and speaking something that turned out not to be true later cos he had really thought in the first place what he said was the truth. You cannot prove that he did intentionally lied to the officier.What can only be proved is that he said something that is not correct and that does not mean it is = lying

As said,he applied for the minority form cos it could be used as a last resort for man power deployment incase emergency cases happened and he is needed to team up for another GRC

Aveme SG

double post

MrIllusion SG

Err... do you even read the responses given on this forum? There's nothing wrong with getting the minority cert in the event that he needs to be fielded elsewhere.

But I'll give you one thing. A lie is a lie. A lie is not a mistake, or misunderstanding, or assumption, or joke.

He may very well be lying. But a CCTV tape doesn't show intent.
